Entry Gaming PC for Fortnite

Affordable Entry Gaming PC for Fortnite – Built in the UK

The Entry Gaming PC for Fortnite is an entry-level 1080p gaming PC for Fortnite, lighter esports titles and everyday home use, built around an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G with integrated AMD Radeon Graphics.

Looking for an affordable entry gaming PC for Fortnite that can grow with you? This build pairs a six-core AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD. It is built to order in the UK by Punch Technology, so you can adjust the parts in the configurator before you order. It was designed around three ideas: a proper PC rather than a console, a first step into PC gaming with room to upgrade later, and an all-round machine that is just as useful for homework, browsing and family use.

The Entry Gaming PC for Fortnite is built on an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G with six cores and twelve threads, using the AMD Radeon Graphics built into the processor. It has 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory as two 8GB modules and a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD. It ships with Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit (genuine, pre-installed) and a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G processor

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G is a six-core, twelve-thread processor for the AM4 socket. It runs at a 3.9GHz base clock and boosts to 4.4GHz, with 16MB of L3 cache. That is plenty for Fortnite while a browser, chat app or music player runs alongside it. It is equally comfortable with schoolwork, streaming video and general multitasking. Because the processor includes its own graphics, you can start playing without buying a separate graphics card.

Integrated Radeon graphics for Fortnite

Graphics come from the AMD Radeon Graphics built into the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G, which keeps the build simple and the cost down. It is aimed at Fortnite at 1080p on lower graphics settings, and at lighter esports and everyday titles. Frame rates depend on the game, the settings you choose and your monitor. Many monitors only refresh at 60Hz, so they cannot show more than 60 frames per second whatever the PC delivers. The motherboard provides one HDMI 2.1 output and one VGA output for your display. When you want more graphics power, the motherboard has a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot ready for a dedicated graphics card.

16GB memory and 1TB NVMe storage

The 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory runs in dual channel as two 8GB modules, a sensible amount for Fortnite and for Windows running other apps at the same time. Both DIMM slots are used. The Gigabyte A520M K V2 board supports up to 64GB, so a later upgrade means swapping in larger modules.

The 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD holds Windows, your games and your files. It is sold as a PCIe 4.0 drive, but the M.2 slot on this A520 motherboard runs at PCIe 3.0 x4, so the drive works at PCIe 3.0 speeds in this build. It is still far quicker than a hard disk for starting Windows and loading games. The board’s single M.2 slot is taken by this drive. Four SATA 6Gb/s ports are free, and the case has mounts for two 3.5in and two 2.5in drives if you need more room.

Contour L08 case and cooling

The Contour L08 Glass is a black mid tower with a tempered glass panel on the right and a solid steel panel on the left. Four 120mm RGB fans are pre-installed, three at the front and one at the rear, so the case has airflow and lighting from the start. The processor is cooled by the AMD stock air cooler. A Contour 550W ATX power supply (non-modular) powers the system. The case measures 460mm deep, 205mm wide and 467mm high. If you plan to add a larger graphics card later, check its length and power needs first, or ring us on 0151 317 9860 and we will advise.

Connectivity

The motherboard has a 1GbE Realtek LAN port for a wired connection, and a Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.0 card is fitted for wireless. On the rear panel there are four Type-A 5Gbps USB ports and two USB 2.0 ports. The front of the case adds one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, and headphone and microphone jacks. Audio is High Definition 7.1 channel (Realtek ALC887). No keyboard or mouse is included, so choose them from the accessory links below.

• First-time PC gamers who want to play Fortnite on a PC
• Console players moving to a PC they can upgrade
• Families who want one PC for gaming, homework and everyday use
• Buyers who prefer to start with integrated graphics and add a graphics card later
• Players of lighter esports titles such as Minecraft, Roblox and Rocket League

For anyone who wants an affordable entry gaming PC for Fortnite, this system balances a capable six-core processor, 16GB of memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD. It also keeps the upgrade routes open: a free PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, memory that can grow to 64GB and spare SATA ports. It is a sensible first gaming PC that also works well as a home PC.

Built to order and tested in the UK by Punch Technology, every system comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty, backed by over 30 years of PC building experience and our status as an AMD Elite System Builder. The estimated lead time for your configuration is shown when you order.

What is the Entry Gaming PC for Fortnite best for?

The Entry Gaming PC for Fortnite is primarily a 1080p starter gaming PC for Fortnite on lower graphics settings. It uses the AMD Radeon Graphics built into the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G rather than a separate graphics card, which suits players who want a first PC without paying for hardware they may not need yet. It also works as a home and study PC, thanks to six cores, 16GB of memory and a 1TB SSD.

Beyond Fortnite, the natural companions are lighter, less demanding games such as Minecraft, Roblox, Rocket League, League of Legends and DOTA 2. Heavy ray tracing, 4K gaming and demanding new releases at high settings are beyond integrated graphics. Players who want those should add a dedicated graphics card or choose a PC with one fitted.

Where does the Entry Gaming PC for Fortnite sit in the range?

This is the entry point of the gaming range, with a six-core AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G, 16GB of memory and a 1TB SSD. Below it, the Punch SlimStation Core i5-14400 Compact Desktop PC pairs a 10-core Intel Core i5-14400 with 16GB of memory but a smaller 500GB SSD, and the Advanced Small Business Desktop uses the same processor with 8GB of memory and a 1TB SSD. Above it, the Performance i5 Home Office PC and the Best Value Business PC 2026 both use the 10-core Intel Core i5-14400 with 16GB of memory and a 1TB SSD. These Intel systems are aimed at home office and business use rather than gaming.
